The Government has been urged to shut head shops after a student collapsed on Monday after ingesting a substance widely available from such outlets.

The call came from a meeting attended by parents, teachers, gardaí, HSE officials and members of the board of management in Causeway Comprehensive School, Co Kerry.

It was decided to send a letter to various Government departments calling for the closing of head shops which sell synthesised legal drugs which recreational users are substituting for cocaine.
